If you like Return Of The Jedi but hate the Ewoks, you understand feminist criticism

“Return Of The Jedi is great, but the Ewoks are so annoying.” That’s a pretty common refrain from Star Wars fans. In fact there are whole fan edits dedicated to removing the little fuzzy bears from the film’s climax; I can only assume they’re made by the most hardcore of Star Wars lovers. The idea that a movie can be good despite its weaker elements is one of the most basic tenets of film criticism. Yet when it comes to dissecting films from a feminist viewpoint, we seem to have trouble keeping that in mind.

In an article over at the AV club by Caroline Siede is an intelligent and easy to understand explanation of feminist criticism. It’s a pretty simple topic but when people hear the word feminism they panic and rage, often dismissing whatever is being discussed out of hand. When it comes to “movements” like GamerGate (ick) “discussing” the work of people like Anita Sarkesian, (usually by claiming that by critiquing games from a feminist perceptive she both hates games, doesn’t understand them and is ruining them for everyone), they and many others miss the point of feminist criticism entirely.

Caroline sums up the issue of feminist criticism well, with good comparisons that are perfect for nerds to understand. The full peice is definately worth a read.
